I'm only just now figuring out all the cool things my camera can do. I've had it for ages and I'm still learning new things. Along with this, I've been eyeballing a lot of black and white photos-- and a lot of stylized images-- like Sam Jones and Annie Leibovitz. I figured I should try my hand at it. I mean, geez, the last time I did black and white photos was for an assignment in my first and only photography class when I was 17 at a community college.
I convinced my friend, Erin, to meet me the next morning so that I could try this new idea.
I was really excited about this new ground that I was discovering. I felt like Columbus. It was like Christmas-- the idea of sleeping seemed preposterous, but I knew I had to if Santa was going to come down the chimney.
Although this experiment excited me, I was a little nervous. I love color so much. That's one of my favorite things about taking pictures-- and a main reason why I take them. So, at first, I was a little apprehensive about abandoning something I loved so much. But that's what this session was all about-- learning something new.
Taking pictures on a Sunday morning is magical.
I started shooting in sepia. But... there's something about sepia that I don't like. It's seems... so... hipster. You know? I mean, I. love. sepia. But I couldn't take myself seriously shooting everything like that-- that's why the color changes a few photos in.
I also couldn't help myself from taking a few color shots.
And now: Erin. She's beautiful. And nice. It's okay if you end up falling in love with her a little-- I know I did. She's going to school to be a nurse. Yup. That's right. A great face, a good personality, AND she wants a living looking at blood spurting out of bodies? She's pretty perfect. She's also quite adventures. If you need a Huck Finn, she's the one to call. I'll stop gushing and let you look at her great clothes and nice teeth.
